Legend
After dispatching one of the thieves, you see that Wallace has killed his own.
"Knew they were on to me, come on we gotta get to that meeting!"
You and Wallace quicken your pace and you soon reach the Poison Blade Inn. Wallace speaks to the barkeeper who nods and tells you and Wallace to follow him to the backroom. A door opens and Wallace enters, and you're about to follow too, but you feel a crossbow jammed into your back.
"Nope, not you. You just stay right here. Don't turn around either. Just stand there. Don't worry, your friend will be out in a few moments assuming everything is on the up and up. I think you'll know what will happen if it isn't." a low voice whispers to you.
You just stand there as you're told, eventually Wallace comes back out and you both are on your way back to the Hideout.
You're not sure if it's anything, but Wallace has been a lot quieter on the way back. He keeps looking at you as much as he keeps looking around for thieves that still might be looking for you.
"Alright, what's going on?" you ask.
"Nothing."
"You keep studying me, and I don't particularly care for it, so what's going on?"
"Nothing I said, I'm just looking around to make sure those thieves aren't around."
"What went on in the meeting, how did it go?"
"Nothing much, it went alright, let's just get to the Hideout."
"So what was the thing that they gave us in return for the information?"
"Just some magic objects, nothing more."
"Objects? So it was more than one thing?"
"Huh? No! It was just this dagger. See?" Wallace pulls out an ornate looking dagger out of his clothing and shows it to you before putting it back. He's starting to look even more guilty now though despite his attempts to misdirect you in your line of questioning.
"So that's it huh?"
"YEAH! I said that's it! What's with the third degree!?"
You back off a bit and tell Wallace to calm down, which he does for a brief moment long enough for you to trip him and throw him into the shallow sewer water. You take note of the blood red gem that comes flying out of his clothing. You immediately pick it up and hear a voice inside your head.
"Ohhh, you're a strong one, maybe you should keep me insteadÂ…"
"NO! Gimme that back!" Wallace shouts getting up, apparently he can hear the voice too.
"So this is the other object eh? What were you planning to do? Keep it for yourself? I doubt that would've went over with Reginald."
"To hell with Reginald! He doesn't deserve this, and after what I've done, I do! I've been spying and risking everything, while he does practically nothing! You said it yourself that his orders are stupid. His day is coming soon, and when it does, I'm going to be in good shape. You think you're going to turn me in? I don't think so. Reginald will punish you as much as he'll punish me. Now gimme that gem!"
"Well, if this gem is as powerful as you claim maybe I should keep itÂ…"
"You? Hah! That gem contains a succubus. You need a strong mind in order to control such a demon and you my friend do not possess that. Reginald sent you as muscle, which says to me that you're only good for grunt work and have no experience in such higher dabbling with demons. The succubus would devour your soul. Now give me the gem and keep your mouth shut."
